Well, I think that I may have figured out what has been causing the indexing
popup nonsence at least on my end of things.
As everything had been working nicely for all this time, untill yesterday
when I decided to install the latest nVidia 162.22 drivers for my video card.
After the reboot, not only did the card perform like you know what, but then
that stupid indexing nonsense had started up "again" like it had done before.
So, now I'm highly suspecting that these really crummy new nVidia drivers
have been the culprit all along, as I had been always updating to the newest
versions and all, only to find they just seemed to be getting worse and worse.
Maybe it was just purely a coincidence, by sure looks suspicious to me?
Just a thought for all of you out there to see if you too have been using
the nVidia drivers.
Right now, I am back to using the default Vista drivers on my 7950 KO
SuperClocked card.
And yes, I am aware of the 79XX series and their problems too.
Anyway, I was sure glad to find that Registry fix, as the only way I was
ever able to fix things was to do a restore or something and even that didn't
always work.
Now to see if I can figure out why my Help Files never let me update, as I
always get that message about can't download the files, so I never get to use
the Help programs, but thats another search in these forums LOL
Thanx too, to Dave for that fix tip!
